Shall write up that TsrritoFyf
Well. thss dapeuds UPON how u I'm
presses ma. am not going 10 tbs rep
resentatiye Of any newspaper, and have
made ne proyisio1s TO write i Up. In
fact. never promise 10 seetare. about
any place o. any subject until ! have
fully prepared myself % carry the prom
lee int execution. For instances, my
FIRST visit 90 Salt Lake City was made
without any thought Of the crying reed
for come hand to tear aside the veil
and expose the hideous mockery on
civilization that existed and exists to-
day in Utah. Bot once IN Salt Lake ]
studied Hormonism and polyRany
thoroughly, and wrote up the result Of
my researches for the Eastern press.
OF course was naligned b. the MsE-
mons for these exposures. but on my
next Visis TO the city delivered lecturts
before thousands OF Gentiles upon the
sane sabieca on which / had vritten.S
cozoREss1oxAL WORK.
"Do you think that congressional
legislation has served to mitigate the
svils Of MormonismF asked the GORE
spoDdeEt.
"Nos at all, " replied Miss Field. The |
bill az it passed the House would have |
served q good purpose, bat Ii was So /
lmascnlated BY the Senate that nothing
Rgs left Of il of ans value. believe /
thas there are as q any plural marriages
iakin2 place Ia Utah nov a. there we're /
before any preventive legislation vas
made. In consequence OF this, the tn
Aiion Is, II possible, worse than before. |
They are now out OF necessity con-
,elled to
KEEP THE MAkRIAGE sRcRxT.
Therefore, q Mormon intent on adding
o the number Of his wives merely takes
! trip With his intended bride to the
sndoWmenl House at Logan, and on
heir return 10 their home she resumes
asE residence with her parents, and so
ar IS the general pablo sknows, they
ire no nearer or deereR than friends or
enthusiastically that and nothing
more. Every Thursday crowds OF male
md female MoFnons flock 10 Logan;
houeh all Who visit Logan do not
20 there TO be married, the
majority do.
"But L Is not absolutely necessary for
couple 10 60 TO Logan 10 be wee.
President Taylor, who IL In reality q
Mormon God, who Ia absolutely Sc
,seme Is religious ruler among his
leluded followers, has taught them that
q these troublous days, when the
saints are peFsecuted By she
IMPs OF TEE xNn ONE,
{ Is not necessary foFthe faithful to re-
ors TO the Endowment Hcese TO be
called. Instead, they may be joined in
heir own parlor. or in q cellar. or In
nv ether place. Many Mormon
Vomen have written to me thanking
ne for the exposures I have made, bu.
he majority Of the women have bssE
dusated from birth to believe that IN
sss they enter into p0lyRamy they can
lot hope to see Heaven. Indeed,
ave inca Mormon women Who we're 10
by this idea that tbey actual
v insisted upon their husbands taking
IluYal wives. OF course there ere not
nany such instances, but, a. q rule, th
Mormon husband doesn't require any
arcina to take an extra wife or more.
II expect to Remsiu In Alaska Q month
" six weeks, when
WILL RETURN.
Ind remain q few weeks on Puget
IOand. Then will return 70 the East.
N has | have observed OF washington
has made favorable impress
ion on me, especially the Port Of Entry.
The view OF the straits OF joan de Fuoa
rom the bluff north Of town, bearing
De romantic name OF Crows Nest, IL
be most charming and enhancing
lave seen for some time hope on my
etuKn to remain several days longer 10
our city"
Satisfied with this promise, the visitor
lowed himself out, With the hepe that
be brilliant lady would enjoy her grand
our 10 Aiaska.
